Parliamentary minority to boycott voting on new Armenian government plan of actions

YEREVAN, May 22. / ARKA /. Armenian parliamentary minority represented by the Armenian Revolutionary Federation/Dashnaktsutyun (ARF), the Armenian National Congress, the Prosperous Armenia and the Heritage parties said they would boycott the voting on the government plan of actions for 2014-2017 today.

Head of Heritage faction Ruben Hakobyan said this way the minority shows its disagreement with the current political system.

Addressing Prime Minister Hovik Abrahamyan he said,’ You believe that you will be able to implement this program. However, what you say are just words, not supported by a real guarantee."

The Country of Law party, which left recently the coalition with the Republican Party of Armenia, has made so far no statements concerning the government’s plan of actions.

In any case, the Republican Party of Armenia controls 70 seats in the 131-member legislature and there is no doubt that the plan will go through. -0-
